I used to stare and wonder at this cover as a little kid. I wonder how many takes it took to do it. |
Even Rolling Stones liked this one^^^^^^^^^^^^. Amazing cover.
Here is one of my other favorites:

I never liked Asia very much but they had some great album covers.
My personal favorite is Aura.

On the Special Edition there is a multimedia feature via Quicktime where they explain the influences musically for tying the artwork together with the album...quite interesting.

Peter Lloyd's "Song for America" for Kansas has always been a favorite of mine.
Of course, there are a good number of Roger Dean covers that were pretty striking, too, for Yes & Uriah Heep.

That is one of mine also. 
I also like the POKR cover as well
This one goes back a few years but it is another good one:
Of course for a more contemporary look nothing beats:

Caravan's "In The Land of Grey and Pink". Like a previous poster I bought this album based on the cover.

I love Barney Bubbles' artwork for Hawkwind, especially In Search of Space and Space Ritual.

It creates such a bleak atmosphere! Reckless, beautiful, excellent.

It's got to be slow
Taking love the only way
It's got to just flow
Making love and taking time to let it grow

^ Not a problem. I love the BBA cover as well as the Wait of Glory. Can't wait to see what you come up with for the new one as well.
If you ever get those prints out I will buy a couple!
Ken even updated my sig buffalo!

 Also, I was surprised that when 3D relief plates of album covers started to be made recently that they made Dark Side up, but not Animals. Surely that would have a made a more interesting plate? If they made one of Animals it would certainly be adorning my walls.
